Happy chrismas and happy new year in advance to all nairalanders.
I have this nostalgic feeling when my brother presented this card to me yesterday. O boy, it makes me remember when i when i was young, i will buy this card... cancle the "less likely to get stuff" if not "impossible" like Trip to Mr. Biggs, TV game, Bicycle, etc., and replace it with money, money and money. lol.
The card is sold at #5 at my time.. depending on the category of adults that pen it.. the return can be more than #100.
1. Some category of adults will pen the promise card but will not fulfill there promise. Most of them will know they won't fulfil it in the first place because they know children can be manipulated with lies. children will keep disturbing them till the festival fades away and the card lost.
2. Another category is one your family member falls into. You present the promise card, they sign and pay immediately. Children recognize these set of people well so they are always the first to be given the card before any other hunt.
3. There are some category that pay immediately when they sign but the amount falls between #5 to #20 , they believe the money children need is not for anything than to buy biscuit. Some won't even sign when they pay.

Hehehe.

Twas another level of logical begging then.


Op you didn't put the category of those that'd put a ridiculous date.

Another method of begging.

My crush in church collected almost what I was saving for Xmas with this thing, cos it was hard to say no and tick something tangible and worthy.

Upon all, I was still unable to seize the opportunity and summon the courage to declare my intention

I can't remember doing this o. Maybe I didn't play with kids that did it.but I remember the bird whistle and plastic google,i never used plastic watch. It has always been real watches for me and my siblings. I used the military computer watch and lots of leather watches they used to perforate to my size for me.
